Pathfinder 2E learning game: Dragonslayers

[Autocad]

Now that Pathfinder 2nd edition has been officially launched, you know what that means... game time! I am hoping to run a group game to try out this new edition. Everyone's learning a new system - myself included. If I make a mistake, let me know. I am looking for something near standard party size, with players who can post at least twice a week, and won't ghost the group.

For smut, this will go under NC system - the DM can facilitate PC-NPC trysts of the MF and FF variety (where F can be female or futa), and if you lose to horny monsters, monsters go after girls and monstergirls go after guys. PC-PC relations are unrestricted as long as both players agree and they don't break site rules.

Character creation is level 1, using the most default character creation rules. Usually I don't do this, but since I'm learning too there will be a GMPC in addition to the party. I promise they won't be a Mary Sue. Character submissions are currently <open>.

The adventure will be homebrew:



Dragonslayers

There was a legend on the tropical island of Hrozenzi. Once the place was nothing but another expanse of ocean, until the red dragon Hrozenzi arrived. Where his flaming breath touched the water, it cooled down into solid rock, and thus was the volcano created. He lived in the heart of the volcano, and his fiery breath continued to belch out from the peak of the mountain, flowing down slopes red-hot until it reached the sea.

Then one day, the Dragonslayer arrived, garbed in gods-granted Regalia that protected him from dragonfire. He ascended the volcano, descended into Hrozenzi's lair, and slew the dragon in epic single combat. And the volcano has laid dormant ever since.

Millennia passed, and island of Hrozenzi has remained a tropical paradise ever since, with relative peace between the humanoid villages on the sunny coasts and kobold tribes on the volcanic slopes. But now a young arrogant red dragon has arrived once more, calling himself Hrozenzi after the figure of legend. He fooled the kobolds into worshiping him as a living god and burnt down villages until everyone else submitted to him as ruler of the island...

Except for the few brave souls of the resistance, who swore to recover the mythical Regalia of the Dragonslayer, slay Hrozenzi, and liberate the island once more.

I stand happily corrected!  Interest planted!

[caelcormac]

Interested. Im considering a cleric or a barbarian

[Hamadryad]

Interested!

Would anyone be able to perhaps show me the character creation section? I can't seem to find the outline of what needs to be done. I'll buy the PDF if not, though!

On Archives of nethys, it's under Rules -> Character creation.

[Hamadryad]

Got it, thank you!!

[Chulanowa]

No prob!

Now to think of a dude from a tropical island. Maybe monk or sorcerer; I kinda never get to play those 

While pondering, how do people feel about playing across from futanari characters?

[Arcanist]

I am in Autocad if you would have me. Will create a character hopefully by Monday. Got the rules. Human something maybe...

[Latooni Subota]

Well if it's a game Autocad is running, I might as well show back up from being gone from the site for a year and a half . . . :)

[Chulanowa]

Any chance of a little setting info, Autocad?

Welcome back Latooni :). Anyways voicing interest, making a male half-elf bard and wanting get familiar with new rules as well. Background wise a entertainer, he entertained the travelers and tourists alike in his village/town until dragon attacked (thus ruining his home) and he then swore vengeance on the lizard. A enigma as a muse (probably some local deity or supernatural creature of mystery/origin).

[pdragon]

Interested, and a first draft on the character sheet.

Yora Myst-Stake
Goblin Sorceress (Draconic Bloodline)

Bastard daughter of a powerful sorcerer and one of his goblin servants. Her father would tolerate her existence for only so long, planning to send her away when she turned 4 (adolescence for a goblin). This changed, however, when he discovered she had inherited his arcane powers, and showed potential to become a great sorceress. He disowned her as a daughter, but in exchange took her on as an apprentice, nurturing her latent talents and abilities. Rocky childhood aside, Yora lived a more privileged and stable life than most of her kind, and is much more civilized and refined as a result, though also more arrogant, a trait inherited from her father. Even young as she is she considers herself an elite sorceress, and is quick to boast her skill and power.

When not studying and practicing her magic Yora works as, of all things, a lawyer, using her intellect and charisma to help settle civil disputes and defend clients at criminal trials, boasting a rather impressive track record. Being a combination of perhaps the three most hated things in the world: a filthy goblin, an egotistical mage, and a money grubbing lawyer, Yora isn't the most popular woman on the island. However her talents are not easily disputed, and as such she has no shortage of requests both legal and arcane. When the dragon's tyranny descended upon the island, Yora didn't hesitate to join the cause. Seeing how it is a dragon's blood that empowers her family's sorcery, in her mind there is no one more fit to face Hrozenzi than herself.

Baramos

Baramos is native of the island, born to diverse family with halfling aunt and grandmother with elf grandfather (and non-blood related dwarven uncle who brew spirits to tavern and was family friend), his mother a half-elf and his father a half-orc and his younger sister being half-orc (he got the looks and charm from mother's side of the family). Common trait in family was that they were all involved in dealing tourists and travelers from far lands coming spend good time in the island. His father ran tavern and sister doubled as barmaid and bouncer, his mother was cook and entertainer and Baramos followed in suit to her as career choice. His elf grandfather taught him ancient elven lores, which interested him and also taught into ways of Desna, goddess of luck and travelers and he felt connection to her as he studied bardic arts with his mother. Overall his life was content and fine and enjoyed entertain the travelers, but he at times sought excitement so he dabbled on arts of rogue; breaking into people's houses and leaving clues of his entering in form of gifts (to ladies whom he admired) or even helping the poor sneakily giving cash pouches. Thus honoring Desna and also get his thrills.

However all changed when the dragon attacked, entire hometown which had been hot spot for tourists thanks town's history, beauty and nice and warm people.....dragon had to make devastating example so rest towns fall in to his tyranny. Baramos was few survivors and it was only thanks him diving into town's well in market when dragon breathed fire. As he emerged from the well, town was in blaze and most everyone was dead. So was his entire family, at least what he can determine from smoking burned down remains of family tavern where everyone usually spend their day. Nor seeing or hearing signs of them. Fueled with grim vengeance he scavenged what he could find in town and set out to seek revenge on the dragon. He haven't smiled since demise of his town, only find sorrowful comfort in playing music and making others smile even if he himself is unable to.

Rolling up a necromancer wizard gal, lots of stuff to put in will hopefully have her done tomorrow.

Hi, I was think about submitting my PC from the other game, would that be alright? Also, I hope it's not too big on an ask, but as much as I love playing as futanari, I'm only really interested in interacting with female characters, and occasional non-humanoid monster, would that be alright?

[Chulanowa]

Y'know... with a goblin, and a gnome... maybe I oughtta run a halfling, and we'll just have a smol party?

The taller they are the harder they fall. Bring on the small force!

Were you planning on keeping Lexara a futa as suggested in the other thread?

I actually think smaller characters need a few giants to toss them around, both in battle and bed. You need the contrast to really appreciate the shortness.

Alright, here's my sheet here, hopefully I've filled it out right! https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=1989241

Francesca de Zanzibar was born far down the line of succession. Her uncle was the ruling lord, and her father his brother, putting her chances at succesion over her other older brothers and sisters looking very very unlikely. Thus, she was given a scholarly education in magic, as part of her uncle's plans to have someone on the inside in the local magic circles and groups. The bright young noble developed a keen interest in magic, and studied it heavily, coming to be known as an up and coming novice amongst the local circles. She originally had aspirations to become an abjurer, though after the unexpected death of her mother while she was away, Francesca turned towards Necromancy, desiring to speak to her mother just one final time.


Having not gotten that far yet, Francesca has become as competetant as a novice can in her field, especially due to the tabboo nature of it. She keeps her interests secretive, despite writing an anonymous thesis on the field of magic, 'The Good and Kind uses of Necromancy'. If found out, she insists that not all necromancers are evil, and that it can bring great joys to people, something that inspires her to continue her studies in the field. Such desires to succeed have cast her out into the world to try and improve her art and expand her knowledge.
